Overfeeding is one of the most common mistakes that cat parents can make. It is not an expression of love and care, rather it can jeopardize the cat’s health and well-being as it can lead to obesity and other important health issues. Experts frown upon allowing pet cats to ‘graze’, that is keeping the food bowl full throughout the day so cats can eat anytime. This can encourage overeating. And when a cat consumes much more calories than what he needs everyday, he can end up piling on the pounds. Overweight or obese cats have increased risks of developing bone and joint problems, heart and kidney problems, diabetes, and other health issues that can have a negative effect on their health, quality of life, and longevity. When it comes to your pet’s nutrition, it is recommended that you talk with your veterinarian Cedar Park, TX.
